    If the QCA works the same as UL. B1 is a 3.2 QCA. If you get B1 in everything, your Average QCA will be 3.2 for that year.

    2.47 isn't a bad QCA.

    I don't know how QCA works with year in UCC but in UL. 1st year QCA doesn't count, the second year and third year add up to 50% and 4th year is 50%. If it is the same in UCC and the average of 2nd and 3rd year is 2.47 and 4th year is 3.2 your QCA will be 2.84. I would still do the maths because I just did that calculation in like 2 mins.

    That is a good QCA to pass with. I myself have passed 1st year and will start 2nd year in Sept and I have a QCA of 3.15 for the year. Too bad it's going to be wiped come second year!
